Narrative:
After before takeoff checklist complete; first officer called for taxi. Ground control said taxi to runway 17R. After reviewing the airport page; I started to advance thrust levers. As we started to move; ground control came back on the radio and said company #. There was a pause. I knew he was going to change our taxi instructions so I stopped the aircraft. I was thinking he was going to change runways; but ground control said taxi to runway 17R at bravo intersection. Looking back at the airport page; I saw bravo intersection; identifying it as south of runway 11/29. I started taxiing; crossed runway 11/29 and held short of intersection bravo at runway 17R. Tower contacted us and said we were holding short at foxtrot. First officer said no; we were at bravo. I looked at the airport page again and realized my mistake. We asked tower if there was a traffic conflict and apologized for my mistake. He said there was no problem and proceeded to clear us for takeoff at runway 17R foxtrot intersection. Be more familiar with every airport. If ground control would not have changed the initial clearance; we would have taxied to the correct place. I just had it in my head we were doing an intersection departure; meaning south of my original taxi point. If we could get the letter B location changed at foxtrot intersection of runway 17R.
